I had the same thought. I'll have to try the website while logged in to see what it does.

Actually, no. The API is happily returning a post from a blocked community when I specifically ask for it. It should also return comments when I specifically ask for them. Or not return either. It shouldn't behave two different ways.

It's Brown & Serve sausage and it's fucking delicious. Tell your geezer friends to stop gatekeeping food.

Dude, use a password manager.

The Lemmy code is so weird sometimes.

I recently blocked asklemmy because I get annoyed by all the stupid hypothetical questions. If I click this link, I can see the post, but I can't see any of the comments.

I don't want that community in my "all" feed, but if I click on an unknown link and can see the post, why can't I also see the comments? Seems like a strange disconnect.

Thing is, even though that's the one thing that would work*, they don't believe that.

"Parking Meter at the Edge of the World"

That was a Douglas Adams book.

On Windows, CapsLock activates the numbers row.

This is not true, and to my knowledge has never been true. Been using Windows since Windows 95.

If I've learned anything from plastic signs on the side of the road, it's "Trump low prices. Kamala high prices."

Ring of Haste is the best ring for ranged classes. I don't know why anyone would say to transmute it. You were right to use it. However, I usually stop at +3. That used to be enough for just over +100% speed, and now it's just under, which is still fine.

Less Than Three (self.fakebandnames)

A two member band that makes cheesy love songs.

"I <3 Less Than Three!"

 

Here's an example. I'll escape the markdown so you see the raw text:

![](https://rimh2.domainstatic.com.au/M3S7ooR3ugIz1AMW8WhMJ1JBivc=/fit-in/1920x1080/filters:format(jpeg):quality(80):no_upscale()/2018585659_8_1_230614_022120-w1920-h1280)

The URL contains unescaped parentheses which are illegal in a markdown link because the link itself must be wrapped in parentheses.

This results in my comments showing no pictures and users only seeing this nonsensical text:

:quality(80):no_upscale()/2018585659_8_1_230614_022120-w1920-h1280

If I try to escape the parentheses, I get this:

Oh, hey, it's the picture!

Whatever admin or bot is editing people's comments when moving pictures to some other host needs to escape special characters in the URLs.

EDIT: It's something to do with my VPN and/or EasyTether, but it only happens in Firefox, so I didn't think that could be it. I commented about my findings below: https://lemmy.world/comment/7585497


I start a video and it either doesn't load at all of stalls within 5 seconds, never to recover.

I've tried everything:

  • Deleting every Mozilla folder in AppData to completely refresh Firefox. (after backing up my profile)
  • Flushing DNS cache
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. (Which made me remember I had a policies.json file in the program folder to permanently lockdown the settings I want. So that wasn't the problem either.)

Even when using no extensions like an ad blockers it still won't play videos. Besides, I'm a Premium subscriber. Once in a while a video will work, but it's so, so rare. And often it'll even stop after a minute.

Meanwhile, it'll work in the DuckDuckGo Browser all the time, which is Chromium based.

What do you think the deal is? It broke rather suddenly a few weeks ago. Do you think it's Mozilla's fault, or Google's?

 

I fucking love it! These guys rock!

Chip goes hard on this track!

David Liebe Hart has been a professional puppeteer for decades. Now he produces rap music with his puppet he named "Chip the Black Boy". The songs are written and performed by Jonah “Th' Mole” Mociun, with supervision from Hart.

I was just trying to go thank some people for recommending a mobile game, and I can't find my original comment where I asked for suggestions nor the inbox replies from the two people who recommended the game.

Does that mean that post was deleted? And all the comments and inbox replies go with it? That's kinda sad.

I suppose this isn't really a Lemmy.world issue, and more like a Lemmy issue in general, but I didn't know where else to ask.

 

It would be good to display whatever the real error is instead of this erroneous message.

I don't even use filters except for a very short list of user filters from before the block API was implemented in Sync. I do, however have a very large list of blocked communities on the server, but I don't see why the Lemmy API would generate an empty page of posts due to my server-side blocks. Is it not smart enough to generate a page of posts after excluding my blocked communities? I've written a lot of paged database queries with filters, and implementing blocks after performing the query would be pretty dumb.

 

UPDATE: I just found this option:

Settings shortcut: Media > Shown options when peeking

That's where a "keep open" option could go, as well as a save button.


A lot of thumbanils have high resolution, and I want to see some detail on them without loading the article just to see it. Especially since mobile web pages most often don't allow zooming anyway.

Another option would be to have a save button you could release your finger over to save the thumbnail.

Even if it is an image post, these buttons could be available since I often don't pay attention to whether a post is an image post or not, and peek the image either way.

 

Update

Someone said you can't edit any post containing an image, and my oldest post has an image. Might not have to do with age at all.

I would edit my title to reflect this but.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just playing, Lj, keep up the good work!


I can still edit newer posts with Sync, but not my oldest one. I've only made three posts, so I don't have much data. For all I know, the bug is you can't edit your single oldest post. But I do know that Reddit would archive posts after a while, and maybe this behavior is a throwback from the Reddit version.

 

I can't seem to upload an image of my current mount, but it mounts flat on the top of my dashboard on a little plastic sheet that's permanently affixed to the dashboard.

The mount has a suction cup made of that sticky rubbery stuff. Any new mount needs to mount the same way. I'm hoping some of you have similar mounts and have some experience with what holds such a large phone well. (I have a slim case).
